>>1048008saw someone at clear lake with one. its impressive. its no surprise though, with the way precision milling has become so exact its almost inevitable. though i'm wondering what kind of warranty it will come with. salt water reels only in the last 10 years have come loaded with multiples of bearings like bass reels do. I think eliminating bearings through precision milling is going back to the roots of fishing reels. the bearings create the bind point, can fail from the elements and to a point aren't totally necessary.
